Yo2,
I have owned plenty of JMR's speakers and love them. But saying that the Offrande destroyed the Merlin VSMs? There must've been something seriously wrong in the system (synergy?). The VSMs are in EVERY respect better than the Offrandes. One would have to step up to the latest Concordes Sig. to play in the VSMs' league.
That said, the Trenté is an amazing speaker and actually better, in my opinion, than the Offrande (I've owned both).
